The Small Beginnings of Spring Cleaning

We had a Sunny Sunday for once! Powered myself up with a breakfast sandvich and some fruity teas! Decided to be a little bit productive today; spring cleaning is around the corner and I wanted to at least get a jump on my wardrobe. I’ve accumulated so many things that I have barely worn, whether it be items that are too small, too big, or just not something I’m putting to good use I’m thinking it’s time to donate some of it. So far I have two bags put together.

There is still some sifting to be done. I’m fairly certain I can find some more to purge. My closet is still at what I would call the “I need a crowbar to get things in and out” stage. Then in the end I can finally get things organized, and maybe even get some new junk.

Food/Drink

The Pea Flower Blues

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been craving a lot of butterfly pea flower tea as of late. When I originally tried it I ordered it in bag form. This time around I ordered some loose leaf, or rather loose flower I guess? It has a better taste, as expected. With loose leaf teas you can purely taste the tea, or flowers in this case. Whereas bagged tea loses its flavor, plus when you brew it you’re also warming up the glue keeping the teabag together (unless you’re one of those fancy people that uses sewn silk pillow bags, at least those give you something close to the loose leaf experience).

I notice they make a powdered version, similar to matcha. I might consider getting some next time I need to order more. I saw recipes online for blue lattes and bubble teas, and it’s already sending my imagination racing.

Gaming

A Village Reunited

Feeling a bit better tonight. Did some closed captioning and then found the last two missing villagers in Order of Ecclesia. Now I just need to grind at all the remaining quests, do a little treasure hunting and then I can go off and fight the final boss… I think? It looks like this might be the first in The Dominus Collection that I’ll finally be finishing, though it’ll have to wait a few more nights if I want full completion. I have a feeling the grinding alone to find certain items might take awhile.

Lara’s Got Her Green On

Happy St. Patricks Day to those who celebrate! I didn’t do any drinking, still not feeling well enough to do that. But there was plenty of minty green tea to drink, and Tomb Raider 2! We successfully installed the new TV and I’ve already performed the ceremonial ritual of playing a Tomb Raider game on it.Played a little bit of Unfinished Business, then took a break and jumped into the sequel.

I should feel well enough to return from my weekend by tomorrow… unfortunately. It sucks spending the entire weekend feeling ill, makes me wish I could take an extra day, well… I could… but there is one person there worth coming in for.

Cozy Castlevania Sunday

Been playing more Order of Ecclesia – so far I’ve destroyed three different bosses. Been pretty much taking it easy today. It’s raining, and I haven’t been feeling well. It’s a good time to rest under a nice warm blanket, enjoy some blueberry tea, and play games that won’t make me motion sick. So far the Castlevania games are pretty good at not making me hug The Porcelain God.

Gaming

Foxy Lady

I’ve been checking out a game called Kitsune Tails. It’s basically Super Mario World but with a gay love triangle. It has a cool level editor, and I’d even say the voice acting is anime quality. The levels themselves take some serious skill to get through unscathed. Luckily there is a shop you can spend yen at for power ups. It’s one of those games where you pick it up and play until you get frustrated, and then come back to it again later to progress a little more. I have to admit it is a pretty charming indie game.
